YouTube sensation KSI was having none of his brother’s antics after he face Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. The two competed in a lackluster fight with ‘Money’ winning the bout in the 6th round via TKO. However, according to Deji, he gave Mayweather a hard time and was deserving of a spot in the ring with him.

In a video, Deji claimed that anybody who faces him next should be afraid of him. He added that he wouldn’t be scared to fight anyone after being in the ring with one of the best to ever do it. Moreover, he also made the bold claim that Mayweather wasn’t holding back during their exhibition.

Whoever I fight next, I literally just feel sorry for you because I fought Floyd. I’m not gonna be scared to fight anyone anymore and this guy was not, he wasn’t even holding back.  People keep saying oh Floyd was holding back, trust me he was not holding back.” said Deji.

Despite Deji’s attempt to boost his stock, KSI was not shy about giving his brother a reality check. He reacted to this clip and stated that Mayweather was indeed holding back in the fight. “Deji he definitely was holding back the first few rounds maybe the 6th round he wasn’t. Yeah Deji aw man this is yeah, yeah yeah this is for f**ks sake.” Said KSI.

It looks like KSI certainly did not hold back, as he dismisses his brother’s claim. If the eye test proves anything, Mayweather looked like he turned it down a notch during the fight and could have finished Deji at any point in the bout. However, given the difference in their skill level, the British YouTuber did try to put up a fight against ‘TBE‘.

However, ‘The NightMare’ has defended his decision to face the ‘Jiu-Jitsu’ ace in a boxing match. In a YouTube video, he clapped back at fans who claimed that he should have faced better competition, like Jake Paul or Tyron Woodley.

I have seen the comments recently on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. I know you lot will not be happy until I fight Jake Paul. If I was to fight Woodley, you guys would have said ‘Jake’s already done that, that’s old news’. ‘Woodley hasn’t won since 2018 no-one wants to see that.” He said
